Surely I’m not the only one…? Now I’m not saying that sailing about solo for 7 months in dangerous seas at 16 is not an achievement, nor am I saying I wish she hadn’t succeeded, but what I am saying is I could really care less & I am sick of seeing the bloody pink boat everywhere & hearing her name & hearing other people’s views on her & yadda yadda yadda yadda… Is it too much to ask for real news now? (Thank the Gods for SBS…)
haha! Love it! I havn't watched the news in my place since "the" Septemer 11 for this VERY reason, I was however subjected to everyone's varying opinions in the office about this little doozey though. 'snore'. almost makes you wish for a natural disaster to make them change the subject. (Yeah, I am v bad i know) xB
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on this one. What are a 16yo's parents thinking, letting their kid do such a dangerous thing?
ReplyDeleteWe don't watch news here either - hard to avoid hearing about this though. I think "good on her" for setting out to achieve her goal but I hope, for her sake, that her life doesn't change so much because of it that she regrets having set out in the first place. I feel sorry for her in a way, because the media is just running with this in a really full-on way! But I hear ya! And I concur :)
ReplyDeletepmsl you're definitely not alone!
ReplyDeleteI so agree. I am tired of it! Love SBS- you're right. Thank goodness for it! xo m.
ReplyDeleteJust yesterday I was listening live (via internet its my little way of feeling like I am still an Aussie) to 612 ABC and she was talking about exactly the same thing. It was interesting to hear what the callers had to say.
ReplyDeleteI do feel that the media is over exposing it. I don't feel the parents were negligent as I am sure they would not have allowed her to undertake this adventure without a lot of serious thought. I do hope that she inspires young people to follow their dreams.
did you read my mind...it's the media they just like to wail on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on! it's dumb!!
ReplyDeletehere here!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I haven't heard much about this myself but, that's just 'cause I am pretty oblivious when it comes to "Hot Topics". I am ever behind all the latest. Ah well, hope they shut up about it soon for your sake.
ReplyDeleteHe,he I haven't seen the news for ages, little bit's and pieces here and there, always seems to sound the same 'ol, same 'ol. Thanks for stopping in I'm Just dropping by to wish you goodluck. I'm following you now, your blogs really interesting and I love all the vintage pictures and photographs (one of my biggest challenges) :-) xo

ReplyDeleteI was hoping she would have 'I'm on a boat' by Lonely Island (the clean version) as her theme music as she came into the harbour!!
I'm on a boat (I'm on a boat)
Everybody look at me cause I'm sailin on a boat (sailin on a boat)
